First date and pregnant

I posted a few days ago about meeting my first love/high school sweetheart. Well we hung out and reminisced, and it was so good to see him. But it was painful too bc all the old feelings came flooding back and I had just learned he had seeing somebody for a month. Apparently he felt the same way bc he broke things off with her. He said it wasn't right to be with her while thinking of me. I couldn't believe it! So we have a "first" date again tonight. I cannot believe this man loved me so much back then to hold on to it and knowingly date me while I'm pregnant with another man's baby. He said it didn't bother him, and if anything he wished it was his. So here goes! This could be a disaster, or our little fairy tale. I'm (probably naively) hoping for the latter!

I should add that ours was the love they sing about in country songs. We had all odds against us, but we didn't care. We snuck out, snuck in, ditched prom, you name it, just to be together against our family's wishes. We hellians eventually broke the law to be together, and I spent the first semester of my senior year in YDC bc of it. That woke me up, and I wanted to join the military. He was a military brat already, so he didn't want that lifestyle. We grew apart, and here we are 10+ years later.

My amazing husband of 4 years was my high school sweet heart. We met when we were 14 and started dating when I was 16. He was absolutely the love of my life! Even my mom recalls seeing the way we would stare at each other from across the room when he'd be over to hang with my brother (they were and are still best friends) and she said it scared her to death because she knew we were head over heels in love long before we dated. We broke up on my graduation night and it was so tough. We spent years trying to let go of each other and actually married other people 6 days apart. We couldn't even be in the same building as each other because the feelings were so strong and we knew it was not right. After both of spouses left for totally unrelated reasons we eventually reconnected after not talking for 3 years. We were married 10 months after reconnecting and pregnant 5 days later. I never ever stopped loving him even for a moment. God knows I tried but I just could never let him go. I pushed him out of my mind but the awareness was always there. We got engaged exactly 10 years after we broke up and our relationship is amazing! I really don't know many couples with a relationship like ours.

I don't think we were ready to be together when we were young. After all the years passed, we grew up and both found a dedication to the same theology that have us a common thread and makes us so close. If you really think that you are both in much better places and are ready to give it a try, go for it! Fingers crossed that it all goes well for you!

Please be careful. I don't want to be the naysayer here, but I had a horrible experience when my high school sweetheart came back into my life. I know I already told you about it on your other post, so I won't rehash it here. But in my case, he was an opportunist who swooped in and seemed like my knight in shining armor during a difficult time in my life when I was really vulnerable. Then he dumped me when it was obvious I was feeling serious feelings for him again. Looking back, there were a lot of red flags, that I ignored because I wanted and needed that fariy tale. So if you see any red flags, please don't ignore them or rationalize them.

Good luck to you and have fun on your date! My sister was in a similar situation. Baby's David gas nothing to do with the baby and her currents boyfriend stepped in knowing she was newly pregnant. The baby is now 5 months old and he is still by her side. He even calls the baby his son. An amazing man for sure. They are few and far between but they do exist.
